Frasier's Celebrity Callers

#!/chapmangamo
Some of Frasier's famous callers. BONUS: WATCH HIM AGE.

[@tommybuurt]

Had no idea famous actors did the phone calls. mind = blown

[@hollyfoster6512]

tommybuurt

[@tommybuurt]

yes?

[@Charlezard.]

Did you never watch the end credits scenes for any episodes? The whole season, each episode would do a follow up to a joke from the episode, and the season finale would say "Thanks For Calling" and do a slideshow of every celebrity voice caller- the pictures they show in this clip.

[@zman8184]

Me neither. Shit.

[@Charlezard.]

So did any of you guys ever hear the "Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs" song? Lol That was always played over the end credits scenes. The show is on Netflix. Go back and watch it all.

[@graceskerp]

"....the camera me is doing things I don't approve of." Comedy gold.

[@nathalieduverna6963]

Hilarious

[@smallworldafterall09]

Isn’t it? 😂 That one and the Stanley Tucci - Penny Marshall - Estelle Parsons - Hillary Duff are my two favorites

[@JustapErson]

@@smallworldafterall09 That's some impressive maths there.

[@solarnaut]

I feel Matthew's pain . . . . . . the youtube commenting me is . . . . . . CONSTANTLY typing things I don't approve of ! B-)

[@graceskerp]

@@solarnaut Maybe the internet is an AI and it's making us type things. (I've said too much)

[@PingKerman]

people are talking about the 10th aniversary of the ending of friends and the 20th aniversary of cheers. no love for fraiser? it was better than both

[@mackcummy4976]

Yup

[@danielappleton153]

Frasier was SMART comedy. Better than a lot of what passes for entertainment now. I especially like " Bill " - Cindy Crawford !

[@mackcummy4976]

Yes. I'd like to think I can be upper brow and can understand some of the wit.

[@danielappleton153]

mack cummy You don't have to be a PhD, BA, or have a Master's in something, just an appreciation of real humor that doesn't drop f - bombs, talk abt excrement or farts every 3 minutes. Or not involve reality merde.

[@mackcummy4976]

Well there are times they do but it's so subtle.

[@thisiskris017]

Omg John Lithgow's call in was incredible lol

[@ALLforLOVE13]

[@Doctor4077]

My favorite one is Ron Howard's "people are talking through my radio"

[@SeeingEyeMultimedia]

Gold!

[@shaneogden7437]

Not as good as, "I'm mad at my dog." "Why are you mad at your dog?" "Because he keeps telling me to take off my foil helmet!"

[@AC-87]

This video is so satisfying to have each caller neatly portrayed with their image. Thank you to the person(s) for making this video!

[@crystallambert4247]

Yeah though that voice at 3:30 didn't quite sound like John Cusack. His voice is huskier than that

[@touristguy87]

Why, so you can imagine yourself stalking them before you actually do it?

[@casey4602]

5:14 & 5:26 Stanley and Penny 🤣😭😂

[@G2S2H2]

William H Macy pic is so funny lol

[@big_dro1713]

Anyone else embarrassed they didn't realize any of these callers were celebrities?

[@valentinaboga9280]

BigD at the end of the series' when they showed the pictures and said 'thanks for calling', i always though ...they weren't in this series!

[@ALSmith-zz4yy]

Their names were in the closing credits after every episode.

[@RhysCJewkes]

I got a couple but not the majority lol

[@WillCorg]

Every caller was a celebrity. They also had their pictures posted, "thanking them" at the end of the final episode of each season for that specific season.

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

Pretty sure it wasn't every caller. Maybe 1 per episode at the most.

[@crinbob]

I have been shaken to my core. This is all new information.

[@ashleymalone1445]

I loved Ray since another world

[@Mel-jr5cz]

If you didn't know, that David Duchovny bit about his "girlfriend of six years" was a joke about Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson, his co-star on the X-Files. The show had been running for about 6 years at the time. Duchovny played agent Fox Mulder in the show and it was HUGE in the 90s.

[@bearres]

I think it’s funny that his story included the amount of sex he had with his girlfriend, and Duchovny is a known sex addict.

[@carlosrivas1629]

@@bearres so was Mulder giving Scully the business the whole time?

[@zapkvr]

Praise jeepers I never saw a single episode.

[@bearres]

@@zapkvr you’re missing out, although the first season or two are a bit dated, the underlying story is great, and several episodes were written by an unknown Vince Gilligan.

[@TXnine7nine]

they missed some. There was one with Jay Leno as a caller who was complaining that he's having trouble losing weight and had tried everything. Then a voice from a fast food drive through window came through asking if "he'd like fries with that". He then pretended like there was a bad signal and proceeded to hang up. 😂

[@kennethdrewary1094]

I'm sure I saw Bruce Springsteen named as the caller once, also John Cleese

[@ladennayoung2939]

They probably only showed a few. In order to keep it from being too lengthy.

[@Lady_Deadpool]

OMG! I never knew those voices were celebrities. I always thought they were just some extras LOL!

[@danielappleton153]

C'mon. You really didn't know ? I could recognize Christopher Reeve & Gary Sinise with my eyes closed. LITERALLY.

[@Lady_Deadpool]

Daniel Appleton Well I hadn't watched Frasier since the show first appeared in the early 90's when I was in my 20's and some if not most of those actors were not as well known as they are now. Coupled with the fact they had a less than 15 sec, one line cameo... ya, I _just_ might have missed it :P

[@thewewguy8t88]

+Lady Deadpool 💋 thats what i thought too.

[@Blubatt]

+Lady Deadpool 💋 Well what I do know is that the lines were actually read by production crew when they were filming, and then the celebrities would record their bits in post. So there were extras, but they were recorded over

[@blondego56]

+Daniel Appleton good for you....are you bragging or complaining 😒

[@justinogordon-lechevalie2683]

"It's a little who're, isn't it? Hello, who're..." LOL!! The best!

[@SwordHMX]

3:41- "Either you are seriously disturbed and should seek immediate medical help, or you are a first year psychology student." I burst out laughing at that moment.

[@Djeispark]

*I've known for years that celebs did call-ins on the show, but I never knew who or how many there were. Thank you for uploading this I'm embarrassed I couldn't recognize alot of these voices! The Art Garfunkle one really surprised me!*

[@bluebear1985]

In the later seasons of the show, they showed pictures of them during the closing credits, before which it said "Thanks for calling".

[@NortonsNestMonthly]

That was great! It used to be so hard to read the celebrity caller's voice in the end credits since it flashed by so fast. That's a good American accent Helen Mirren was doing.

[@bluebear1985]

In the later seasons, they showed their pictures during the credits after it said "Thanks for calling" on the screen.

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

Yeah, you had to wait for the season finale to see the pictures of who had "called."

2:31 hit me so hard. "General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me Obi Wan-Kenobi, you're my only hope." Goodbye, dear Princess. And yes these celebrity callers are just amazing.

[@bloqk16]

This is one of the most clever compilation of video clips I've seen on KZbin. The head-shots of the celebs, to go along with the voices, is superb!

[@CaptainSnackbar]

its really a shame that these days there are no new TV series worth re watching like Frasier's

[@melissahudkins1344]

I know what you mean; I’ve already streamed all 11 seasons on Hulu twice & I would love to watch them again! (As someone who has had to work evening & PM shifts for years, I never got to watch the Thursday night lineup on NBC & now I look forward to them on Hulu!)

[@beingsshepherd]

@@ladennayoung2939 i watched the first episodes, its meh so far with the usual signal virtue baggage we used to get these days. they established the same problem Frasier is having with his son in the first season just like he did back in the original with his father. there is a mixed feelings i have to admit, on the one hand i want it to be good, but on the other i see an alarming writing issues with this new reboot. i hope i'm wrong.

[@solidusny07]

thank you for uploading this, you did a splendid job doing this compliation..usually after every season finale they do have a 'thanks for calling' with showing who called in the show.my favorite one was when Marv Albert called in, and not for Frasier, but for Buldog :)

[@zakurowolfalphasilverwolf]

So THATS why they had to pictures at the credits!!!!! I never knew why until now!!! Thank you for this!!!

[@bubbadano1508]

Hearing the celebrity phone calls every week was a highlight of the show! A lot of times the voice would be recognizable but other times had to try to guess who it was until the credits ran.

[@TheRoyalBavarian]

This was a classic idea having celebrities call in.

[@volleygolfguy]

Great show! Love watching the reruns.

[@Letham316]

I knew about the celebrity callers because some episodes ended with this "thanks for calling" segment (I'm guessing at the end of each season), and it would list some celebrities. It's interesting seeing their names with their respective calls, so I'm listening to it, knowing it's their voice.

[@genesisdawn6672]

At the end of each season they thank the celebs who played the callers that year.

[@jrdroptini]

Frasier is my favorite sitcom. Thanks for posting this.

[@alking7655]

The best is in the extras with a compilation Frasier has of celebrity callers and then Lilith (Bebe Neuwith) comes on the line and he says "Ah, we seem to have a celebrity of sorts, this is my ex-wife Lilith." To which she says "What do you mean by celebrity?" "Oh they know you." The easiest one for me to pick is Joe Montana. Not just because of Fat Tony in The Simpsons, but he has a very clear voice, even over radio.

[@backbaconnbeer]

Loved all the celebrity callers....I always hoped they would get William Shatner as a celebrity caller " the last time I took a flight I saw a man on the plane's wing" or " my stepdaughter's doll keeps telling me she's going to kill me' and Fraiser replies " you've been watching The Twilight Zone marathon haven't you?"

[@CamHortalezayeah]

This is hilarious! Haha I'm gonna watch the whole show now, don't know how I got here but I'm glad!

[@PvtVallen]

Wow, how did I never notice this :o I have watched every episode of Frasier and never noticed any of these celebrities, I didn't even know this was a thing

[@danielappleton153]

A running gag !

[@TheJellymonty]

Ah back when being a celebrity meant that you could act and people were happy to have such entertainment in their homes. Fast forward 10 years later.. most of us have said goodbye to TV comedy.

[@henrymilles5744]

My favorite is the one at the very end with Celeste, Brittany and Morrie. 5:26 Hillary: I cannot stand all this fighting. I am running away from home. Morrie: Oh, hang up the phone Brittany, you are not going anywhere Frasier: And neither is this conversation. LOL

Great stuff. One of my favorites was when he filled in for Bulldog and Bob Costas asked him a question about the Supersonics needing to get a wide-body for the paint.

[@Axtell71]

So awesome, thanks for doing this, although David Duchovny's call is always one of my favorites.

[@CuddlyGayBear]

it's nice that John Lithgow was one of the callers. He was actually the original choice to play Frasier, back in the Cheers days. He wasn't available so the producers picked Kelsey. So 1.58 is a nice moment.

[@ladennayoung2939]

And neither is this conversation. Lol. This was great. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@Yesica1993]

Thank you so much for this!

[@baggergurl16]

What I really liked about the final episode of Fraiser(and SPOILER ALERT for anyone who is still watching Frasier and hasn't gotten to the final episode) I liked how the writers didn't give him the perfectly clichéd happy ending and that was by having Frasier finally find the love of his life but instead he had a wonderful life in Seattle with lots of fond memories with his family and friends and career wise things were all looking up for him in that area.

[@jeffpapiernik9239]

Except he moved to Chicago to meet up with the women he was in love with.

[@canadianmoth]

You going to watch the new one

[@SouthernCal1317]

Ana Johnson I liked that too. It wasn’t him getting married or even him knowing what was gonna happen. I liked how he risked it to go to her and see what would happen. Frasier ended on a very great high note!

[@nthgth]

But wait, wasn't that woman played by Laura Linney, who was one of the callers? So is she still playing the caller??

[@infonut]

@@jeffpapiernik9239 ... They should open the new Frasier by having him land in Chicago and bump into Dr. Bob Newhart.

"Oh hang up the phone britney, you're not going anywhere!" "a hefty bag & duct tape!" ahahahahhahaa

[@ErdTirdMans]

The finale episode of most of the seasons has a "thanks for calling" section that actually told us this while it was on the air.

[@PSRisa]

Too funny! Watched each episode and had no idea those callers were who they were. It would have been even funnier if we had known!!!!! LOVE IT! Gotta say, they really nailed Duchovy's character, RLMAO!!!!!
